The Ghost In You

"You awoke in a burning paperhouse
From the infinite fields of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiananmen
An eyewitness in a shroud

To see them fall
Feel them yield
Relieving the terror
Of the crowd

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment, I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

The whisper of your scream sighed through the air
And faith, the flag is torn and frayed
Inferno heat, glory in flame
Love was beaten and betrayed

In every step
I hear your sobbing
Dare I break the shade
With one caress?

Dare I trespass to lift the veil
To touch the lips so soft and frail?
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

Your captive heart
The belief you share
With a kiss eternal
Spirits of the square

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

Don't let it blow
The ghost in you
The ghost in you"
